It was a neighborhood that came out of World War II. Prior to 1940, there were fewer than 5,000 black people in the city of San Francisco out of a population of 700,000. And at the conclusion of World War II in 1945, there were 47,500 black people. The Japanese-Americans of course were incarcerated during World War II in detention camps, and that left all that property available. That's when blacks moved into that neighborhood, and out of that grew this wonderful culture, this industry, this artistry."
